"the government’s gonna pay for it."

As some of us have been saying here for a long time, The Donald is a noncon.

I’ll just save everyone the trouble of reading the entire thread. Typical Trumpeter response:

“I don’t care that Trump is not conservative on every issue. All I care about is that he’s going to deport the illegals.”

[Logical me]

Idiots bitching already. Would you rather keep Obamacare or try something new. Judging by what was said before Obamacare we had insurance plans with many companies and still the uninsured used hospitals free. Did they not? Sounds to me like it is the same except maybe hospitals would be able to recover by Government covering the uninsured. What the hell is Medicare now! Maybe it would be a better time spent with less complaining and wait until more details. This cannot be done with a few words. Trump for President!!!!!

Fortunately he doesn't get to write laws. Hopefully with him in office, Republicans will pass Ben Carson's Health Savings Accounts and Medical Savings Accounts ideas.

Then President Trump can go out and say, "If you like your ObamaCare, you can keep your ObamaCare. If you don't, consider HSAs and MSAs."

Trump is a private market guy. He knows private companies can handle the load without relying on taxpayer subsidies.

At least I hope he knows that. I've never met the man so I could be wrong.

“Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody.”

Progressivism is as progressivism does....

What IS surprising is that so many are fooled.

By all means, lets get behind a person who has no chance to win the general election. Then we can keep Obamacare and have more years of bitchin’ and moaning.

I will continue to support Trump and wait to see what his plan might be.

I have yet to see any other candidate present any plan either. At least Trump speaks honestly.

I do not think he is in favor of single payer for this country; he is smart enough to know those countries he has cited before (as having well-run single payer) are much smaller by a ton. He is also smart enough to know that what you pay for a broken leg in Manhattan is not the same you pay in Nebraska. Just because one says that single payer works in XYZ country doesn’t automatically mean you think it will work in the US. Good grief, didn’t Vermont decide last year that even it cannot afford single payer?

Trump has often mentioned that he likes HSAs. And this is where I think he is going with this “universal coverage” thing: Employers will dump some into the HSA, as will employees. Those who are unemployed will have their employer portion contributed by some kind of gov’t funds. Once they resume work, they will resume adding to their HSA. Under this sort of plan, there would be a form of universal coverage, although not equal coverage. This is a powerful incentive for people to FIND A JOB, btw.

I have often thought that if Trump wins the nom, he should announce the Doc as his VP, announcing that, under this administration, the VP is no longer a ceremonial job. No more christening ships, etc, but real responsibility. He should/would charge Dr. Carson with fixing both Obamacare and the VA.

Just my two cents...

If you want to follow the reasons why health care is so expensive in the US, follow this website. He literally has hundreds of posts of what is going on. Yes, of course it includes the politicians and it would be a mighty heavy lift to get them to give up the cash they are being paid. But the reward would be almost instant entitlement reform without raising a cent in taxes: http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=230710

the government’s gonna pay for it Just who in the heck does he think the government is?

[MeshugeMikey]

I...... am going to take care of everybody.

I...... don’t care if it costs me votes or not.

Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.
